From Dating to Mating: Relationship Expert Blane Bachelor Tells it Like it T-I-S!

I often ask myself, ‘how many people in Atlanta are actually in healthy and happy relationships?’ Being an African-American woman where there are news reports reminding me or suggesting to me that I’ll never find a suitable mate of the same race, I find myself feeling bummed about it at times. So, I’m really looking forward to hearing how Blane Bachelor was able to ditch the meaning of her last name – ‘Bachelor’, going from ‘singledom’ to ‘wedded bliss’. I’m currently not in a relationship; however I would love to be in one, so I look forward to her tips.
